Lu Su saw Sun Quan's actions, thought about it and then comforted: "Lord, you don't have to be like this. In Su Shen's opinion, the current situation in Hebei that Lu Ren had touched before may not really be as he said, so the lord ...... you."

Sun Quan waved his hand: "Zijing, don't despise this person. In fact, when I first heard about this person, I thought that this person was not more intelligent, but now it seems that the knowledge in his chest is no less than that of Gongjin and Zijing. Just imagine, he was able to escape from Xu Capital safely with a group of his family, and I believe that it was not just a helpless move in a moment of anger as the rumors said. What kind of person is Cao Mengde? If Lu Ren hadn't seen people in his chest and made him carefully arrange them in secret, how could he escape from Xu Capital so easily?

And he now lives in Jingxiang, and he also has a good relationship with Jingxiang's ministers, but he still dares to trade between Jingxiang and Jiangdong to make profits, if there is no extraordinary means...... Hmph, if it were someone else, I was afraid that how many times my head would have fallen off, and how could he be like him, so good at eating in both places? At least, at least, I can't really find any reason to punish him...... No, I can't say that, but I really don't want to punish him! ”

How could Lu Su not know that Lu Ren was extremely slippery between Jing and Wu? So at this moment, he couldn't help but sigh lightly: "This person has extraordinary knowledge, maybe he doesn't have much talent in his chest, but with the knowledge in his chest, he may know how to avoid evil better than anyone else." In my opinion, although this person is a businessman, it is precisely because of his business convenience that he is extremely well-informed, and he is so well-informed that many of the details sent by my Jiangdong are not as good as them. ”

Sun Quanqi said: "He is a businessman, what news can he find?" ”

Lu Su shook his head and smiled: "The lord is mostly in the mansion, and many news are not as well-informed as Su, so many current affairs are not known to the lord." Although Lu Ren fled from the capital at the beginning, but looking closely at his behavior, he was obviously unwilling to blame Cao Mengde. This may have something to do with the fact that he has always had caravans to and from Lianyun, Xuzhou. The so-called business in business, if he really offended Cao Mengde and cut off his trade route, the business profits he would lose were also incalculable. So ......"

Saying that, he changed his tone and then smiled: "As far as Su knows, Lu Ren has actually sent a lot of heavy gifts to Cao Mengde in the past few years, in addition to Cao Mengde himself, Cao Mengde's advisers such as Er Xun, Guo Jia, and Cheng Zhongde. Military generals such as Zhu Cao, Xia Hou, and Yu Ban, he did not hesitate to make friends with them.

And he is very good at throwing people into the good, such as Erxun's uncle and nephew, such an honest and famous person, he never gave away any gold and silver property, but gave Yizhou the best paper, the great Confucian Zheng Xuan's scripture commentary. And his wife Cai Wenji is the daughter of Cai Bojiao, a famous man in the world, and her poems and pianos are all true to her father's true heritage, and she also has her own merits. Her handwritten works and piano music scores are hard to find among literati and artists in the world, and even Cao Gong himself has passed on books to him. I hope that Cai Wenji can return to Beijing and teach the knowledge and piano skills of Cai Shizhong in the past to the world. And Lu Ren came smart this time, and gave Cai Wenji's handwritten works and piano music scores to those high-ranking people...... Alas, when it comes to Cai Wenji's handwritten works and piano music scores, even Gong Jin is excited! ”

Sun Quan recalled Lu Su's words, and said with a sigh: "According to Zijing's words, does it mean that although Lu Ren defected from Xu Du, he still has a good friendship with the people in Xu Du?" ”

Lu Su nodded: "That's right." In fact, it is above the bright side. After all, Lu Ren had a weak career, so he abandoned his official career and left. So on the bright side, Cao Mengde can't blame him. Now from Cao Mengde himself to many important ministers under Cao Gong's account, they have all received so many benefits from Lu Ren, and Cao Mengde has the heart to record him again, and it is not difficult to forgive him for the crime of escaping and then befriending him. And under these preconditions, the news that Lu Ren can find out from Cao Mengde's heavy ministers is far from what you and I can imagine. ”

Sun Quan hesitated: "He is a businessman." What's the use of asking for this information? ”

Lu Su laughed and said: "The lord is a pure and loyal person, so he naturally doesn't know the sinister nature of this world. In contrast, Lu Ren has wandered through troubled places. With such an experience, he may be more aware of the dangers of the world than Su Du. If you look at it now, you can live in the world, although you have good friends with powerful ministers from all over the world. However, it is not relied on to be recommended by others, but to choose a place to live in Yizhou overseas, avoiding the turbulent situation of today's heroes, which is the way to protect oneself by the mean.

And he is doing business for profit, one is naturally to fill his own wealth, and the other is that he uses this to find out the current situation in various places, once there is any change, he can keep pace with the times, make friends with the lord of power and protect himself and business profits, and even if it is not good, he can calmly return to overseas Yizhou, and live a leisurely life...... In fact, to put it simply, he is a wall grass that no one takes refuge in, but at the same time, no one can be offended. In terms of all parties, he is a businessman who only seeks to make profits from merchants, and there is no benefit to him, but he can get a lot of benefits by keeping him, so why not keep him? Ququ is a businessman, what can he really do? ”

After listening to this, Sun Quan nodded in a sudden realization, but then said with some worry: "Even so, Zijing is not afraid that he will reveal my Jiangdong secrets?" ”

Lu Su smiled and continued, "This is the smartest thing about him. The former talked to him, and I found that he knew everything about Jingzhou's secrets, and with this person's presence, I could get a glimpse of Jingxiang's internal affairs; On the other hand, I believe that the people in Jingzhou will also listen to the truth of Jiangdong from his mouth, so this person is useful to both Jingzhou and Wu. Sun Ziyun's 'cause between them' (between causes, see "The Use of Space" in "The Art of War" for details), if used properly, it will be the best helper rather than a curse, and the key lies in how to use it.

With his knowledge, of course, he knew that he was in his position, and it was impossible to hide anything from either party, so he simply told both sides what he knew. And in this way, who of the Jing and Wu families is willing to touch him? What's the benefit of moving him? In other words, he is like a messenger running between the warring parties. The two countries are fighting each other, and now it is my Jiangdong and Jing Xiang who are fighting wits and courage, and he is just a pawn that is useful to both sides, and no one wants to touch it. ”

Sun Quan said with a smile: "Hearing Zijing say this, I think he is playing with fire, but I am afraid that there will be a day when he will bring disaster upon himself." ”

Lu Su smiled and shook his head: "If there was a change, he would probably have fled far away." Don't forget what I said earlier, he's too well-informed and well-informed. If either party makes a move, he is likely to be aware of it at the first time, and then disappear. And compared to military affairs, who will have the leisure to hunt him down? That's it, it's useless for this person to mention more. All in all, if you care too much about him, you will not be of much benefit to yourself, but you will be able to reap a lot of benefits from making proper friends with him, both in public and private. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Su's brows tightened again, and he glanced in the direction of Jiangbei again, and then said to Sun Quan: "Lord Mingjian, with the current situation, when the Lord Jiangdong's foundation is stable, Cao Mengbei has already gone south to Jingxiang, and I need to make early preparations along the Jiangdong coast to resist the enemy." ”

Sun Quan nodded in agreement, but after thinking about it, he asked, "Zijing, do you think this person can be used by me?" ”

Lu Su shook his head again and again and said: "Actually, although I think this person has extraordinary knowledge, his talent is useless. Moreover, no matter if he is happy to be free, there is no intention of being a man in his chest, even if he is willing to be a man in Wu Hou, what use can he be? Rather than this, it is better to let him continue to be a merchant between Wu and Chu, but he can still use it for the lord. After listening to this, Sun Quan nodded suddenly in understanding, but then said with some worry: "Even so, Zijing is not afraid that he will leak my Jiangdong secrets?" ”

Lu Su smiled and continued, "This is the smartest thing about him. The former talked to him, and I found that he knew everything about Jingzhou's secrets, and with this person's presence, I could get a glimpse of Jingxiang's internal affairs; On the other hand, I believe that the people in Jingzhou will also listen to the truth of Jiangdong from his mouth, so this person is useful to both Jingzhou and Wu.
